Will They Ever Learn?
Our First, Duty
You can't hold another fellow down in the ditch, un
less you stay down there with him. I know that saying of
Booker T. Washington's has been quoted until it is threadbare.
But there never has been a time when it wasn't true.
Or truer than it is today,
Only as we consider the good of all, can we attain
enduring prosperity, security and happiness.
Most of the things troubling us today are the lesult
of attempts of individuals or groups to get for them*
selves alone, what even though it is justice — are the
rights of all. Only when we consider as individuals — or
as a nation — what is good for all, can we have lasting
good for any. Our first duty is to be fair to humanity.
Slums in a community mean a breeding place of epi
demies which strike far and wide. Fire hazards are a danger to a whole town. Lack of parks and playgrounds spawn
delinquent children and start crime waves. Low wages and
high living, costs hit the pocketbooks of all those who sell
or buy goods. Lack of educational facilities means un*
trained men and women, incapable of earning enough to
live decently.
Unless all men are trained for wiork, both of hand and
mind; unless all men are taught to think clearly, and are
able to look ahead to a livable future, the nation will be
prey to epidemics of isms, of false doctrines, of quack
economic theories. Gladstone said "National injustice is
the surest road to national downfall
Only as we all work together for the common good —
can there be any good. Tlie way to get equal opportunity
for all is to work-together, instead of to fight each other.
After all, social justice is nothing more nor less than
the application of the Golden Rule to the affairs of daily
life. In childhood we all had to commit this rule to mem*
ory. Now as grown men and women let us commit it to
life! We cannot escape our duty.
\ni_lio]p7Rem^ns
It is hard to see how reasonable men anywhere could
do other than agree wjrth Secretary of State Dulles' as
sertion before the. United .Nations General Assembly that
Communist Chinese aggression in the Formosa strait "poses
a grave threat, with ominous implications." It is hard to
see how reasonable* men anywhere, regardless of their feel
ings about U. S. policy in the Far East, could deny the
good sense of this country's demand for a cease-fire.
But the blunt and troublesome fact is that some of
those most deeply involved are not reasonable men. They
are men unreasonably bent on the furtherance of their own
ends, even at !the risk of plunging the world into an
other war. ' ' -
That is the "grave threat" of which Secretary Dulles
spoke. The cease-fire he called for would be at least a
first step toward alleviation of the threat. As long as the
shelling of Quemoy goes on, as long as planes continue to
battle in the skies off the China coast, little can be ex*
pected of the talks between the United States and Red
China in Warsaw.
There is good reason to believe that the Peiping government does not want those talks to bring about a peaceful settlement. It is not at all certain that Red China is
interested in the easing of Far East tensions. These things
rule out much optimism. But. hope. cannot be ruled out,
We must persist in negotiations and, if the Warsaw talks
bog down, place the matter before the General Assembly
There is still hope that the Communist leaders can be
brought — by pressure of world opinion, if not by persuasion — to halt their adventure- before it explodes into
war.
No Time For Brakes
Business mail of all classes — first, second, third and
fourth — is the force that, more than any other, keeps
the American economy in motion.. ....
Instructions, .orders, invoices, payments, information on
products and services and a myriad different products
themselves; magazines, books, and newspapers — all flow
through the mails in mountainous quantity, and all contribute to our welfare, maintain and expand lour celebrated
living standards and are essential to meeting pay rolls,
paying rent, buying equipment, producing profits on. investments.
As it has since Colonial days, the post office remains
the great American community center. Far more than the
local communications -headquarters,, it symbolizes the exchange of goods as well as ideas. It is the bearer of gift,
at Christmas time — no matter what the geographical
separation. It extends the merchant's sphere of operations,
and gives both the cross-roads storekeeper and the most
remote consumer the opportunity of shipping in the markets of the nation — and the world at large.; • ■ ■*; •
Clearly, anything that disturbs business mail shakes
the national economy, threatens employment and the expansion of gross national 'pjtoduct? —■■• on which progress
and prosperity depend. :, '-. .; -•:.
And, truly, any force that imperils the historically unprecedented prestige of *tfce -gi?eat -AJmericari aBost* -Office
endangers the spirit of America.
